Roger Ver and Craig tried to destroy Bitcoin but the straight-laced Bitcoin community did not let them so they had to fork off.
Hardforks are not upgrades to a cryptocurrency; they are the cessation of one chain and ruleset and creation of a new, different, incompatible chain and ruleset. Anyone who tells you "hardforks are the proper way to upgrade a cryptocurrency" is directly quoting Craig Wright, and is a fucking scammer exactly as Craig Wright is.
